- Interference = Shaft OD − Hub ID
- Contact pressure depends on interference & material elasticity
- Press force = Pressure × Contact area × Friction

Come si usa
- Inserisci Shaft Outer Diameter (OD)
- Inserisci Hub Bore Inner Diameter (ID)
- Input Hub Outer Diameter (OD)
- Set Fit Length (contact length)
- Inserisci Material properties:
- Elastic modulus (E)
- Poisson's ratio (ν)
- Inserisci Friction coefficient (μ)
👉 The calculator will output:
- Interference value
- Contact pressure
- Required press force
- Torque transmission capacity
- Hub stress
Engineering Meaning of Each Output
Interference (mm)
- Positive → interference fit
- Determines tightness
Contact Pressure (MPa)
- Key factor for holding strength
- Too high → material failure risk
Axial Grip Force (kN)
- Required press-in force
- Important for assembly process
Torque Capacity (kN·m)
- Maximum transmissible torque
- Critical for rotating parts
Hoop Stress (MPa)
- Stress in hub due to expansion
- Must stay below material yield
Esempio
Shaft OD: 50.05 mm
Hub ID: 50.00 mm
Fit Length: 60 mm
E: 210 GPa
ν: 0.3
μ: 0.12
delta = 50.05 – 50.00 = 0.05
👉 Risultato:
- Interference = 0.05 mm
- High contact pressure
- Adatto per heavy-duty interference fit
Linee guida di progettazione
Recommended Interference Range
| Diametro (mm) | Interference |
|---|---|
| 10–50 | 0.01–0.04 mm |
| 50–100 | 0.02–0.06 mm |
| 100+ | 0.04–0.10 mm |
Fit Selection
- Light press fit → easy assembly
- Medium interference → general mechanical use
- Heavy interference → high torque transmission
Considerazioni sui materiali
- Steel: high stiffness, high pressure
- Aluminum: lower modulus, lower pressure
- Mixed materials → asymmetric deformation
Friction Coefficient (μ)
Typical values:
- Dry steel: 0.15–0.20
- Lubricated: 0.08–0.12
- Press with oil → lower force
Manufacturing Tips
- Utilizzo chamfers to ease assembly
- Consider thermal fitting (heat / freeze)
- Ensure surface finish consistency
- Avoid excessive interference → cracking risk
Applicazioni
- Montaggio degli ingranaggi
- Montaggio dei cuscinetti
- Shaft-hub connections
- Automotive assemblies
- Aerospace structural joints
FAQ
What is a press fit?
A tight fit where parts are assembled using force or thermal expansion.
What is interference fit used for?
To transmit torque and prevent relative movement.
How much interference is too much?
When hoop stress exceeds material yield strength.
Can aluminum be press-fitted?
Yes, but requires lower interference due to lower strength.
Does lubrication affect press fit?
Yes, it reduces friction and required assembly force.
